Wonderful week - Great Sunsets and 5 Star

5 of 5

From the minute we arrived at around 8:15 pm and walked around the back of the house to see the large beach area and an incredible sunset we knew it would be a good vacation. House was wonderfully prepared and clean. Kayaks were great and the dock and location of the house are perfect. I have been coming to the keys for over 30 years and can honestly say, This was the best rental we have ever stayed in.
Thanks for renting to us and hope the house is available next year!

Unbeatable Vacation Home

5 of 5

This year will be the third year, forth stay, in paradise at Adel and Judy’s home. It truly is paradise with a beautiful view and easy access to the water. There is so much to do from spending a relaxing day at the house to visiting the many attractions in the area. Fishing is a must and can be done from the kayaks that come with the house or fishing off the bridges in the area. It is not like fishing in any other place. You can walk into the water by the house to snorkel, take a trip by canoe to the mangroves or go on a snorkeling trip offered in Key West. The variety of sea life is astonishing and beautiful. A trip to the only living coral barrier reef in the continental United States is a must and will not disappoint you. Be sure to go see the dolphins. You can swim with them, feed them or just observe other people doing so. There is a Key Deer Refuge and seeing deer in a parking lot is not uncommon. Of course, Key West is just a short drive away and has so much to offer from excellent food, shopping, street vendors, street performers and of course the Sunset Celebration. People from all over the world gather to see the beautiful sunset. One of my favorites was watching satellites late at night. If you are into star gazing, etc, download Google Sky and Satellite AR for an entertaining evening. Of course, the house is perfectly equipped with everything you can possible need and more. Your stay here will be one you will want to repeat over and over!

Our third year in a row! Always PERFECT!

Hi Adel and Judy,
I don't know how but you make our stay better every year! The new dock is so great! And the house and landscaping is always stunning and done to perfection! The new kayak ramp also makes it easy for us to walk our paddle boards down to the water! But we love using your kayaks for those smooth evening trips thru the mangroves. We went to our favorite breakfast restaurant this morning, Galley Grill. Mark our reservation for next year, it feels like our home away from home! Thank you both very much, Robert &Dori

One month in paradise!

5 of 5

My husband and I enjoyed a month at Adel and Judy's beautiful Cudjoe Bay home. It was simply perfect. Paradise. The house layout is open and extremely comfortable, including the beds! The house was immaculate and it contains everything you would need and then some. Adel ensures that you are well supplied with water, towels, any kitchen gadget imaginable, chocolates, and - of course - a fleet of kayaks from which to choose.

And the kayaking is fantastic. We paddled everyday out and around Gopher Key, we saw fish, lemon and bonnethead sharks, rays, horseshoe crabs, herons, cormorants and more. Everyday was a new wonderful discovery.

The house is ideally located between Bahia Honda State Park (for beach time and/or taking a boat out to snorkel Looe Key) and Key West. There are great restaurants nearby, including Square Grouper, No Name Pub, Keys Cuisine (for lunch only), and Gieger Key Marina. We also did backcountry (means the gulf side) tours with Captain Bill and Captain Larry. Excellent!

Each night as we settled in from a day of swimming, snorkeling and kayaking, we'd pick a key lime from one of the three key lime trees in the yard, make a margarita and watch an amazing sunset.

It was very easy to work with Adel. He is extremely generous and accommodating. Our deepest thanks to him and Judy for making their slice of paradise available to us.

Perhaps the biggest endorsement is that we have already booked for three weeks next summer! We're hoping we'll hit mango season, as we did get one fresh mango from a tree in the yard as well!

Perfect Rental in Paradise

5 of 5

My husband , myself and our golden retriever spent the entire month of December renting this beautiful property.
EVERYTHING about it was perfect.
Like the listing says..you only need to bring your clothes and food.
It’s Adel and Judy’s attention to detail that makes staying here feel as if you are in your own home. The house is beautifully decorated and extremely well stocked so there is no need to worry about anything. Just relax and enjoy your vacation. The coaster bikes were especially nice for taking a little tour of the neighbourhood and the kayaks were wonderful for exploring the bay.

Grocery stores, pharmacies and liquor stores are all just a scenic short drive away. Do get your Winn Dixie card to save on food and gas fill-ups and be sure to check the back of your receipt for a coupon to use at Slice of Paradise Pizza. The pizza there was wonderful!
Key West is only about a 20 minute drive away and is definitely worth seeing.

The property is completely fenced in for the privacy and safety of your pet yet allows easy access for swimming up front...after all...it’s their vacation too!

We would return to this property without hesitation!

A big THANK YOU to Adel and Judy
for making our vacation such a wonderful one
Joanne, Gilbert, (and Sherman)

Thanksgiving In The Keys

5 of 5

I really hate to write this review because this house is so wonderful, I don't want anyone else to know about it! We've been renting homes all over the East Coast, Central America and Caribbean for many years and we have never stayed in such a well appointed home. The owners were very pleasant and thoughtful...which started with the treats of Baklava and Dove chocolates! The Florida Keys are always wonderful, but this location was superb. Close proximity to Bahia Honda, No Name Pub, shopping on Big Pine Key and a fast trip to Key West. The sunsets were out of this world...we will return, sooner than later.

takes place right from our front yard! Sightseeing and shopping in Key

West is just 20 minutes away! Whether bicycling or swimming, you'll

be in awe of the lush tropical gardens and exotic wildlife that

surround you. It's a national treasure! And Bahia Honda - the best beach in the Keys (and many think the world) is just minutes away! After another memorable day in paradise, let the tropical ocean breeze caress you as you sip an afternoon tea or other beverage in our shaded lounge area. It's all
